Blueberry Marijuana Seeds

History of autoflowering, feminized and regular blueberry marijuana seeds.

Blueberry Marijuana plants, are perhaps the most famous among indica cannabis breeds and probably the most good-looking. It is also not a very good choice for novice growers, as it is a tad difficult to maintain and feed. Experienced breeders however, will be rewarded by reaping the harvest of one of the best and most potent cannabis varieties that was ever introduced.

Firstly introduced by the American-Canadian breeder DJ Short in the `70s Blueberry is regarded by many as the pinnacle of proper breeding and successful hybridization. It has won the High Times Cup one time in 2000 and was third-placed the year after.

A Different Kind of Blueberry

A famous long-time favorite, this trademark cannabis plant is instantly recognizable by its impressive blue/purple pigmentation and distinct taste. Originally developed by the near-legendary breeder DJ Short, this flavorsome strain comes all the way from the golden ‘70s era. This mostly Indica variety 80% Indica – 20% Sativa variety, has dedicated followers that still swear by its name and fruity, sweet blueberry taste!

Apart from its looks however, the Blueberry packs quite a lot of punch as well. The dominant Indica strain means that your mind will go places and that a lot of epiphany moments will accompany your high. The THC levels are medium-high, ranging from 14% to a respectable 19% in the original Dutch Passion variety.

The yields vary significantly, depending on the breeder and the variety. In general, it ranges from 110 g/m2 to a 600 g/m2. However, its potency is, in most cases, quite strong and therefore you will not need a whole lot to feel it hit you like a ton of bricks. With most Blueberry varieties, it is very likely that your high will last for hours and frequently alternate between stony to euphoric.

DJ Short’s Long Story

The journey of the Blueberry strain in time, is very long and extends all the way back to the US West Coast, during the 70s. It was the time when glam rock, funk and disco were dominating the planet, much to the dismay of the punk subculture. Around that time and that place, is where we find DJ Short, a breeder who was at the time experimenting with a variety of exotic sativas from central and south America and Thailand.

Although DJ Short is originally from the US, he has nowadays achieved legendary status as a Canadian breeder, possibly because of the proximity to the border.

His work has immortalized him to growers the world over, as he was one of the most skilful and dedicated breeders the cannabis world has ever seen.

The late 70s found DJ Short painstakingly growing and sampling over 100 plants at a time, trying all possible combinations to achieve the desirable traits. He even admitted that his initial success rate was 1 out of 100 plants. Luckily he never gave up and he eventually managed to develop one of the most popular cannabis strains in a global scale, even today.

In terms of genetics, DJs first combination involved a landrace Highland Thai (Juicy Fruit) and the Oregon Purple Thai and led to a very interesting dark colored hybrid that would turn deep purple when exposed to lower temperatures. The Purple Thai was one of DJ Short’s favorite plants as it offered more mild effects, compared to the stronger (and at times uncontrollable) Juicy Fruit. These two Sativas, were the female basis for all the strains that were then developed by DJ Short. In one of his articles in September 1999, he explained his breeding procedure at length, describing his experience with all the different plants.

The game changer for DJ Short was a male Afghani Indica, that he found in 1979. Back then, indicas were a bit uncommon in grow rooms. Breeders discovered that by mixing Indica genes with sativas, they could grow more plants, that matured faster. That realization brought forth the end times for many pure sativa lines, that were either hybridized or extinct. Of course indicas lost their “wow” factor pretty soon, but they were instrumental in giving more options to the growers.

The Dutch Passion Era

The ‘80s were the time when DJ Short kept on perfecting his prized baby, although his strains were already meticulously refined. After a 2-year spell with Sagarmatha Seed Company (1993-1995), during which he developed some variations on the original Blueberry, DJ short moved to the Netherlands to work for another company.

At Dutch Passion, played around with the older strains and created many more variations like Blue Heaven, Blue Moonshine and Purple Passion. Apart from their strong high and masterful breeding, DJ Short’s creations were pure eye candy: the vivid colorings and twists of the plants during flowering, became an instant trademark of his work. Dutch Passion still offers some of his more successful strains, like the original Blueberry, the original Flo and the stony, resinous Blue Moonshine.

While working for Dutch Passion, DJ Short met the owner of the “Spice of Life” seed bank, a Swiss guy who went by the name “Steve”. Soon after, they began working together and gave birth to even more strains like the Moonshine Rocket Fuel, Rosebud and Blue Satellite. It was with Steve that DJ Short shared some of his purebred Blueberry Sativa seeds and many of the strains that are mentioned above were created by combining it with Steve’s signature Shishkeberry. Their breeding attempts, led to the creation of many wonderful new strains that are still offered today, like the Sweet Pink Grapefruit and Sweet Skunk.

DJ Short Today

Blueberry strains are to the day, DJ Short’s template for further breeding. His collaboration with talented growers like Red from Legend Seeds, led to many variations that were fathered by the B130, a now extinct Blueberry Sativa male. The copious amounts of seed releases from Spice of Life, Legend Seeds and Chimera are far too many to count, but its worth taking a look at some of the newer strains.

Some of those are the Legends Ultimate Indica and DJ Short’s very own True Blueberry and F-13. The True Blueberry is a revamped version of the original Blueberry strain and the F-13 is, according to DJ Short himself, the pinnacle of his creations and his personal favorite.

Between the “True” and the “Original”

It can be difficult to pick a favorite among the Original and True Blueberry, according to DJ Short himself. While they are both equally potent, the True version is a hybrid comes from a much larger gene pool and is generally considered as a strain of superior quality. In addition, the hybrid version is combining parts of Indica and Sativa, while the original is mostly Indica.

The two strains vary in terms of their aroma as well: the original Blueberry has a sweeter, fruitier smell than the True, which has a nasal palate with slight hints of anise about it. There is no real winner in terms of smell and taste, as both the True and its “granddaddy” share a similar exotic genealogy.

There is however a slight difference in the type of high that each plant offers. The True Blue offers a more sophisticated type of high than the more hypnotic (but definitely not deadening) trip of the Original. There are of course, a wide range of plants that can be found within the two strains. It is worth noting here that the first version of the True Blueberry was fathered by the famous male Blueberry Sativa, B130, which -as mentioned above- is now extinct, making the hybrid a prized possession for the growing connoisseurs.

It would be impossible to list all of the hybrids that contain traces of the original Blueberry. Since the 70s, thousands of variations have been developed and sold all over the world. Below, we have listed some of the best of those variations, with detailed specs for each one of them.

Seed Spreads

After its creation by DJ Short in the 70s, Blueberry has been hybridized extensively. You can find variations and versions of Blueberry in almost every major seed bank and seed store in the world. Although the original is still sold exclusively by Dutch Passion, but there are a lot of feminized and auto flowering options available in the market. There are also some crosses sold by Flying Dutchmen and Vision Seeds

Awards

The plethora of Blueberry variations that exist in the market make it virtually impossible to list all the awards that have been achieved by the Blueberry strain. The original however has won the High Times Cup one time in 2000 and was third-placed the year after.

What’s Next for Blueberry Marijuana Seeds

The Blueberry is an all-time classic strain, with a rich history behind it and a lot of varieties coming after it. The work of DJ Short has left us with a legacy of how dedicated breeding and decades of expertise can lead to the development of some amazing and exciting new strains, like the Blueberry and the Flo.

There is no way that we can keep track of all the different strains that the Blueberry has parented. The one thing that is for certain however, is that the original strain is still available through the Dutch Passion website. Most of the different Blueberry varieties share the fruity taste and impressive looks of their grandparents (the Purple Thai and the Juicy Fruit).

Each different strain that is bred, gives birth to different, completely original phenotypes that are waiting to be discovered and developed into a new, more exciting strain. Today, 40 years after DJ Short’s meticulous selective breeding, we can safely say that his work has left us with a legacy, that is going to provide the building blocks for the many breeders that will follow his lead.
